In what we hope is a wise choice, I'm preparing to work towards a masters in Secondary Education from (I think) Ball State University. I went to BSU yesterday afternoon and met with an advisor who -- :) -- advised me against doing a transition-to-teaching program. He based that recommendation on the fact that I don't really want to teach, but rather that I'm working toward an administrative position. My goal is to be a superintendent within 8 years, unless the Lord steers me otherwise.
So, what does that mean? Well, it means that over the next few years Jill and I will be busy -- as if we aren't already. It means that I'll be spending some time on the road going to and from classes. It means Jill and I (and Hale and Addi) need your prayers!
I think we'll know soon enough if this is God's will for us. The decision came because I could only take so many people telling me that I would make a good superintendent -- including a man that knows a thing or two about that job: Ralph Bailey. I've asked him time and time again if he seriously thinks that Jill and I can pull this off and the answer continues to be, "Yes!" Our prayer is that God is using Ralph, and will use us to allow His will to be done in all of this.
